Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The volume of a balloon filled with helium at an altitude where the pressure is
Concept Introduction:
Different laws have been put forward to introduce properties of gases:
Boyle’s law:
At fixed temperature, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted by the gas.
Charles law: States that volume is directly proportional to temperature when the gas is held
at constant pressure and number of molecules.

- The barometric pressure is about half the sea-level value of 760 mm Hg at an altitude of 4,000-5,000 feet 9,000-10,000 feet 14,000-15000 feet 18,000-19,000 feetarrow_forwardThe atmospheric pressure on the top of Mt. Everest, an altitude of 29,035 ft, is only 259.9 mm Hg. What is the partial pressure of oxygen in the lungs at this altitude (assuming that the % O2 is the same as in dry air, 20.88%)? Report the pressure to the tenths of a mm Hg without units.arrow_forwardA bicycle pump contains 0.682 liters of air at 99.3 kpa .

- Calculate pressure using Dalton's law of partial pressures. A gas mixture is made up of N2 (6.91 g), 02 (7.95 g), and H2 (0.850 g). The mixture has a volume of 27.1 L at 27 °C. Calculate the partial pressure of each gas in the mixture and the total pressure of the gas mixture.

Do not put units in the answer space.arrow_forwardDetermine and report the pressure of collected hydrogen gas in atmospheres. Report this result to one more digit than allowed by applying the rules of significant figures. (1 atm = 760 mm Hg, an exact conversion factor.) Determine the moles of hydrogen collected by substituting the appropriate quantities into the ideal gas equation and solving. Report this result to one more digit than allowed by applying the rules of significant figures. Notes: the gas temperature is the same as the listed temperature; R = 0.082057 L-atm/mol-K. Be mindful of units. Determine the experimental atomic mass of Cu. Round this result to the correct number of significant figures. Determine the percent relative error (= ????????????−?h????????? ? 100). The molar mass of Cu is 63.546 g/mol.
